Two-thirds back PM Orbán’s family support scheme – Survey

Two-thirds of survey respondents interviewed after Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced new family assistance measures approved of them, according to the Nézőpont Institute.

Fully 63 percent of 541 people surveyed expressed satisfaction with the planned measures, Nézőpont said in a statement on Monday. Also 40 percent of people identifying with the opposition backed them.

Nézőpont also said that the government’s anti-migration stance was met with “a consensus at least as broad”, with 64 percent of the respondents against the European Union “revisiting mandatory migrant quotas” after the upcoming European parliamentary elections.

In a survey of 500 people conducted by the Századvég Foundation, 73 percent of respondents expressed a favourable opinion of the prime minister’s state-of-the-nation address, as well as the family assistance measures he outlined in the speech.
